Unusual push mower with a rotary engine. Get a load of the price though. The magic R word in the title means rivers of gold to some.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Something in the words on that control panel that seems to say something.

Hi MF, I think what Danny is getting at is if you replace the L in Wankel with a R for rotary you then have a different word entirely laugh - no way is it worth that price.

Or possibly "thief river"

Ahhhh thanks Tyler.
Very good Dandare. Yes I had thought of the very suggestive name of the motor but completely missed the other part. I wasn't sure what you meant by control panel. I thought you may have meant a part of the page not that motor in the image.

Yep some people are asking a lot for mowers that were $100. a few years ago.

There was a rotary mower on UK eBay a while ago and it only sold for a few hundred dollars.
